| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Very Hazy orange-golden beer with thick big head on top. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, yeasty, slight spicey, has a cake like aroma with a slight citrussy caracter. Quit lively on the tongue with a breaddy feeling and a interesting fruityness going on, alcohol is well hidden, aftertaste shows some nice hops. kmweaver (2453), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 22, 2009 12oz bottle, purchased at City Beer. Pours a hazy, tannish, tarnished-copper color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Loads of honey, overripe fruits, and sweet Belgian sugars in the aroma; heavy on the sweetness, definitely; light pepper. Lively citrus on the tip of the tongue; lots of heavy Belgian sugars, caramel, and overripe / dried dark fruits (raisins, dates); lots of honey; honestly heavy carbonation, messy sweet presence, and just kind of unruly; hard to drink too much. Lengthy finish: honey, Belgian sugars, and yellow raisins. Pailhead (2587), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Bottle: The aroma consists of yeast, raisin, hints of citrus, and some spiciness. It pours a hazy orangish-amber with a half inch white head that eventually fades to a thick ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts lightly sweet with some light yeastiness and a hint of raisin and apple. The finish had some mild citrus notes and light spices. It’s medium bodied with mild carbonation. mar (1831), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely rust orange with thin, persistent offwhite head; I got some yeast in there, so grayish floaties spot the glass, as well. The aroma is assertive spicy yeast with a tangerine and lemon quality, a hint of white raisin, and a little bit of oak. The flavor is spicy alcohol and yeast, coriander, and lemon. There’s a mild honey and raisin sweetness, but overall the beer is on the dry side, which I like. Once in a while I get a sort of tropical taste in the middle of the mouth. The finish is much like an oaky chardonnay, with a bit of remnant yeasty character. That spicy alcohol lingers into the aftertaste. Quite a good brew. Madsnp (620), Odense C, Denmark
